Removed "Actually
Visual Basic a widely used programming environment uses as well a virtual machine."
VB does not use a virtual machine. It compiles to p-code, which is not the same thing. The p-code is specific to intel hardware and the windows operating system, so it doesn't qualify as a virtual machine. --Dmerrill

I think the old IBM virtual machine system was called VM. CMS was a simple single user OS you could run on the virtual machine, but OS's such as DOS (no relation to MSDOS), MVS, and UNIX were also run on these virtual machines. Any IBM old-timers out there to confirm this?
